ADD/HD, Dyslexia and Learning Disabilities have been linked to
Cerebello-Vestibular Dysfunction by Levinson et al. These findings
have the potential to change the standard approach to treatment and
diagnosis of these conditions.
Discovertreatments.com utilizes Video Electronystagmograhy to
assess Cerebello-vestibular function. This non-invasive diagnostic
test gives our doctors information necessary to formulate an
effective treatment plan for children and Adults diagnosed with
Learning disabilities and Attention Deficits.
Treatments may include cerebello-vestibular rehabilitation,
chiropractic adjustments, brain based treatments (hemifield
stimulation, olfactory stimulations, eye movement exercises),
Interactive Metronome and other physical therapies.
The Test of Variable Attention or T.O.V.A. is another tool
utilized to diagnose ADD/HD and Behavioral Problems. Our Facilities
offer The T.O.V.A, a 21 minute diagnostic computer game which has
been shown to accurately diagnose both children and Adults.

A double-blind, placebo controlled study of 9 to 12 years old
boys diagnosed with ADHD, found those undergoing the Interactive
Metronome training program showed significant patterns of
improvement in attention, coordination, control of
aggression/impulsivity, reading and language processing. This study
was published in The March/April 2001 issue of the American Journal
of Occupational Therapy. (SEE
Interactive Metronome)
Drs. Lamantia, Brostowin and Resnick all have advanced training
in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, Learning Disabilities and
behavioral Disorders.
